Hello everyone and welcome to the focus group podcast I'm Sarah

Longwell publisher of the Bull Work and this week we're talking about Tic-Toc. Now it's hard to get

Joe Biden and Lauren Bobbert on the same page about anything but that's exactly

what happened in recent weeks when a bill passed the U.S.

House that could end up banning Tik-Toc unless its Chinese Parrot Company,

Bite Dance, sells it. Even if the bill passes the Senate and President Biden signs it,

as he has said that he would, it is likely headed for a legal battle. So Tik-Tok

still going to be part of our lives in the short term. But I was

curious about the impact Tik-Tok has on voters political news diets, especially

young voters.

And what we heard from them in our focus groups

was not great.

My guest today is Bullwork, White House correspondent,

and co-author of our Morning Shots newsletter, Andrew Egger.

Andrew, thanks for being here.

Hey Sarah, thanks for having me on.

Are you like me a bit of a Tik-Tok skeptic? I consume all of my Tic-Toc content like a good millennial via reposts to

Instagram Reels. I have never I've never had the app on my phone and yes I think especially as I have

been covering this bill as it's worked its way through in some of the

national security concerns I have become more and more of a

a Tik-Tok skeptic myself personally.

Yeah so I am not of a Tiktok skeptic myself personally.
